Exploding God

Chapter 1102 The Long and Arduous Pass Is Truly as Solid as Iron

In the early morning in the suburbs, the mist was thin, and glistening dewdrops hung on the grass and branches. Occasionally, a passing bird would land and peck at the water droplets.

The wriggling earthworms burrowed out of the damp soil to breathe, but they couldn't escape being snatched away by birds that had just finished rinsing their mouths.

The rumbling off-road trucks rolled over, splashing mud and water, startling a few birds and harmless small animals hiding in the grass.

The laughter and chatter from the truck faded into the distance along with the tire tracks.

The warriors who hurry out of the fortress are always the first to leave. Whether they want to pursue wealth or power, the lazy have no place in this era.

The city guards stood firm and loyal at their posts, their gazes unwavering.

In this era of human struggle against nature, the impact of any battle is limited.

Especially for Shanghai, the premier city in East Asia, battles come and go quickly.

Ten days ago, people were terrified by the endless tide of beasts and the sky-covering, sun-obscuring Earth King Vine.

However, when the Yanhuang Army bravely stopped all the beast tides, and the researchers from the fortress annihilated the infinitely proliferating Earth King Vine, the magnificent battle finally came to an end amidst the cheers of millions.

Although they had no idea what was happening over the East China Sea.

All they knew was that the Yanhuang Army had once again repelled the giant beast's attack and once again defended the Shencheng Fortress.

Another piece of good news is that the massive fog cyclone that was the source of the disaster has disappeared!

Passersby frequently glanced at the people at the entrance, especially when they saw the young man standing discreetly in the center, their eyes filled with doubt.

That rank doesn't seem right, does it?

When they got closer and saw the ranks, the shock in their eyes was undisguised.

Senior Colonel!

So young?

Recalling the strict promotion system of the Yanhuang Army, it's astonishing that someone of that age could rise to the rank of Senior Colonel...

This immediately drew a collective gasp.

In the future, he will surely become a general who commands a region!

So those who passed by couldn't help but take a second look.

He was a stranger and a handsome man, but it was his calm and composed demeanor that left a deeper impression than his appearance.

……

……

At the east gate of the Shanghai fortress, two distinct groups of people stood amidst the comings and goings of pedestrians.

As the group approached the city gate, their attire varied, and the leader was none other than the renowned "Moonlight White Rider"—Lin Yunxue!

The number two next to him is Liang Dashao, a fully recovered and energetic young man, and the number three is naturally Wang Jun.

Behind him stood several students from Hurricane Academy. Cheng Zicheng, the usually carefree teaching assistant, stood obediently at the back, looking ahead with envy. He thought to himself, "Youth is wonderful. That brat's flirting skills are no less than mine, Master Cheng."

Of course, he only sighed and didn't dare to say it out loud.

After all, even Dean Wu was standing discreetly at the back.

Hurricane Master! Martial Arts Leader!

Everyone was out seeing off their junior classmates...

Hmm, so there must be some inside story I don't know about in the East China Sea.

Cheng Zicheng stroked his chin, his eyes darting around.

The burly Wu Wenlie, dressed in a light blue Hurricane Academy martial arts uniform, stood behind like a statue. It wasn't that he wanted to ruin his academy, but rather that the tailor-made martial arts uniform was simply too loose and comfortable to wear.

Since he returned to the fortress ten days ago carrying the B-rank Mist Soldier [Crimson Armor], titles like "Terrifying," "King of War," and "Light of Martial Arts" have been relentlessly bestowed upon him, further solidifying his reputation as the number one player in Shanghai.

Even Wu Wenlie, who was already prepared to take the blame, was completely dumbfounded at the time.

However, when he thought about how he was taking the blame for his own students, Comrade Lao Wu felt at ease.

Today is to see Lu Ze off.

As for Lu Ze's purpose for this trip, Wu Wenlie's authority only allowed him to know a tiny bit, but even so, it was still astonishing.

If Lu Ze really succeeds...

Therefore, to have stars on one's shoulders before the age of twenty would truly be the first miracle in the history of the Xia Kingdom!

Wu Wenlie looked at the tall figure in front of him and couldn't help but grin, but he didn't say anything.

It's so good to be young.

This time should rightfully belong to the young.

……

"one two three……"

Click!

"Okay."

A young officer waved his camera and smiled at the group.

The envy in his eyes was almost overflowing.

As for the shock, it's beyond words.

Zang Chuanping, Commander-in-Chief of the Shanghai Fortress and a Second-Star Dragon General of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Qi Zhaoming, Commander of the Jiaolong Submarine, Commander of the Near-Earth Fleet, and a Two-Star Dragon General of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Yun Zhenxiong, the holder of the Great Xia General Star - [Wise Strategist], is the commander-in-chief of Hongshan Island, the fortress of Shencheng, and a one-star dragon general of the Great Xia!

The three most powerful figures in the entire Jiangnan war zone, who had connections to the highest levels, spontaneously stood next to Colonel Lu Ze as supporting characters for a group photo.

What an honor!

I doubt anyone would believe it if it got out.

The major looked at the camera in his hand, his palms sweating slightly.

This camera is incredibly valuable.

"Xiao Wang, develop four photos, one for everyone, hahaha." Zang Chuanping laughed heartily.

The destruction of the giant beast only shocked the coast of the East China Sea.

But the earth-shattering battle that took place deep in the fog of the East China Sea shocked half the world!

The submarine force stationed on Kyushu Island was completely wiped out, the US-led Pacific Ninth Fleet was completely destroyed, and the energy reactions of the 11-star Storm-class and 12-star Typhoon-class threats were instantly suppressed...

Hidden beneath the fog are a record of achievements so astounding it's chilling.

This directly led to the US Alliance, which claims to be the strongest in the solar system, remaining silent for a full ten days after the East China Sea War.

This ten-day silence allowed the Yanhuang Army's reputation to sweep across half the planet.

The root of all these phenomena lies in the calm-looking young man beside me.

[A man with thunderous passion in his heart yet a calm demeanor on his face is worthy of being a general!]

This is the assessment of Lu Ze made by the entire high command of the Jiangnan War Zone.

Lu Ze already possesses all the qualities a general should have.

Looking back over two thousand years, before this, there was only one Huo Qubing, who once drank from the Han Sea and sealed the wolf's lair!

The other thing Lu Ze needs to do right now is to complete the last piece of the puzzle that belongs to "Champion Marquis" - step into that transcendent plane!

Zang Chuanping patted Lu Ze's shoulder heavily, his eyes filled with emotion and satisfaction.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, but we'll start anew. I'm waiting for your return!"

"We old guys won't get in the way for now."

Several high-ranking military officials looked at the girl opposite them, whose eyes were sparkling, exchanged smiles, and then left.

Lu Ze nodded, watching Zang Chuanping and the others leave, before turning his gaze to the group in front of the city gate and smiling.

……

At the city gate, Liang Bo and the others remained still, consciously giving their time to that graceful figure.

Lin Yunxue walked up to Lu Ze, raised her beautiful eyes, and stared at him.

Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

In the depths of the girl's eyes, there was only that figure.

"Don't you want to say anything to me?"
